Youth Communication is a youth-led media organization that was founded in Chicago in 1976 by Sister Ann Heinze to facilitate positive teen self expression and emotional development through journalism and the publishing of a teen newspaper titled New Expression. Today our services are expanding to include Arts Integration programs and an annual teen-run Arts Festival. Youth Communication in Chicago, YCC, shares teen perspectives and accomplishments with their community to foster understanding, empathy and celebration!
